i will think of this quote as I sit on the toilet and make my next masterpiece.

when his car was stolen the thieves returned it when they found out it belonged to him

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

I wasn't allowed to watch this. I'm sure he was a good man. But is it possible this is part of the problems we see "everyone gets a trophy"?

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I don't think so. He would teach the little ones how to deal with defeat, and to not give up.

Annnnnnd I teared up. Damn.

I've seen this at least 5 times in the past 2 days... I guess I should just accept the fact that I won in this world.

They could each only repost with the username that belongs to them, to their profile, each is OC. They have all won in this post.

Everytime at work, I change out of my cardigan into my lab coat and say I'm having my Mr. Rogers moment.

You wear a cardigan to work every day?

This makes me feel better about working on the fanfic I've been writing. So what if the story isn't perfect or has some holes? 1/2

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I actually wrote it down instead of keeping it in my head; and maybe someone out there will truly enjoy it. 2/2

That's awesome! Don't stop :)

did he really give the middle finger that bluntly?

10 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 1

I'd follow a religion just based on his beliefs and teachings.

10 years ago | Likes 402 Dislikes 6

That would be Christian, buddy.

10 years ago | Likes 0 Dislikes 0

he was Presbyterian

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

So basically the Jefferson Bible?

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

So, Christianity? Because I think he was a Christian minister.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

To clarify. I meant you don't need a religion to be a good person. In otherwords “having your hand held”.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 2

You know he was a Presbyterian minister right? His beliefs and teachings are probably Christian.

10 years ago | Likes 124 Dislikes 6

The greatest part is that none of his religious stuff ever really entered the show.

10 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 3

Yep, That's something I admire the man all the more for as an adult. He wasn't preaching, by all accounts, he was this way normally.

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

That point has been made before, but what he taught transcends Christianity. It is something greater.

10 years ago | Likes 78 Dislikes 16

No, I just think Mr. Rogers is an example of Christianity done right. He followed the call to be like Christ.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

He was preaching by example.

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Gah, thank you for saying it!

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

True Christianity is about being like Christ himself ("Be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect"). There's nothing greater than that.

10 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 1

Yah um what about being like Aragorn? I'd say nothing greater than that.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 3

Actually, he emphasizes tolerance, which is at the core of most religions, esp christianity. Most religious people just forget that...

10 years ago | Likes 21 Dislikes 3

Not most, just a very vocal minority

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Most people believe what they want to believe and just find parts of their religion to justify it. Mr Roger's kindness included honestly.

10 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Yes and no. We shouldn't judge because we're sinful ourselves, but we're also told to not tolerate sin no matter what (even in ourselves).

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Most *fake* religious people forget that. Alot of them think they can get away with being an ass because it is all forgivin on sunday.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Don't most religions boil down to "be a good person and treat others fairly and as equals"?

10 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

I'm pretty sure it's kill or convert others

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Depends on which passages your read.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Most religions agree on the way we ought to treat others and have we relate to people; it's how we relate to God that changes w/ religions.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That or "Do what I say or suffer in hell!"

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 4

Religions with that type of mantra are little more than fascist cults and should be avoided whenever possible.

And that's why atheism is the way to go.... m'lady

I've honestly thought about writing "The Book of the Church of Mister Rodgers" with things like The Book of Make Believe and all of that (1)

10 years ago | Likes 35 Dislikes 2

So basically the Jefferson Bible.

(2) But then someone pointed out that he was a Presbyterian minister and proooobably wouldn't appreciate it.

You could make The Analects of Mister Rogers, no? :D

It'd be like The Tao of Pooh! (...crap, I need to write this now.)

Tao of Pooh? I'd read it. Dao of the Dude (or Duder, His Dudeness, or El Duderino... if you're not into the whole brevity thing)..
